Upgrade to Windows Mobile 6

Installed ActiveSync 4.5 and successfully synchronized my Treo 750. Then
started the update to Windows Mobile 6, once I completed the first set of
tasks that "Needs Your Attention" I could not longer sync with my computer.
Message on my phone is "To synchronize this device you must install
ActiveSync 4.5 or newer on your desktop computer." Update is paused at the
end of executing update.

Hi,
During the update from Windows Mobile 6, ActiveSync will not be used.
Instead it uses the installer to transfer the image. Did you make sure any
software firewall is disabled before you attempt to upgrade?
